Has anyone had success or can provide any tactical guidance on setting up free or low cost expert calls with current / former customers & employees of a target and competitors? Working with a tight budget and wanted to see what creative ideas people had, also with the caveat that remaining anonymous throughout diligence is important to get unbiased views from the interviewees.
